You don’t have to starve yourself. You don’t even have to exercise to burn fat! Using a simple scientifically proven calorie adjustment routine that’s flexible and more realistic for average moms
Do you ever dream of having the body you had at 20 back, but you don’t have the time to do it?
The first step to accomplishing your weight loss goals is determining how many calories YOU are currently eating daily and weekly. It is an extremely important step for you to know because it’s going to help you put together a game plan that will allow you to “live a little” and will help you to lose weight efficiently without sacrificing muscle mass. This will assist you not just to lose fat, but also to look your best when the extra fat is off.
Here is a simple way to determine your current calorie intake. (It includes a free downloadable meal tracker)
Scientifically speaking what are calories?
A calorie is a unit that measures energy. Calories are usually used to measure the energy content of foods and beverages. To lose weight, you need to eat fewer calories than your body burns each day.
How many calories should a woman eat to burn fat without exercising?
Now the answer depends on different factors, including your age, height, current weight, activity level, and metabolic health, among several others.
Every female is unique.
When trying to lose weight…
A general rule of thumb is to reduce your calorie intake to 500 fewer calories a day than your body needs to maintain your current weight. So to lose about 1 lb. of body weight per week you would need to consume 3,500 fewer calories less per week.
To lose 2 pounds of body weight you’ll just need to double that.
The math is pretty simple and this we know to be scientifically proven as confirmed and published by health.gov
Below are average calorie ranges that consider bodyweight factors:
– The average, moderately active woman between the ages of 26-50 needs to eat about 2,000 calories per day to maintain her weight and 1,500 calories per day to lose 1 pound of weight per week.
– Women who are active and walk more than 3 miles per day will need to consume 2,200 calories or more daily to maintain their weight and at least 1,700 calories to lose 1 pound of weight per week.
– Young women in their early 20s have higher calorie needs. They require about 2,200 calories per day to maintain their weight.
– Women over age 50 generally require fewer calories. The average moderately active woman over 50 needs about 1,800 calories per day to maintain her weight and 1,300 calories per day to lose 1 pound per week.
Now that you have some general guidelines to go off.
To get you started, you need to understand how many calories you are eating each day, and what it’s doing to the scale.
It is vital for you to know your starting point to effectively burn fat without exercising.
Losing weight too rapidly typically involves not only fat loss but also the loss of valuable muscle mass. This is the mistake most overeager dieters make.
Once the weight is off, they look skinny but flabby. Their body is far from having that sleek, sexy, fit look they are after.
Here we show you an example of a 42-year-old professional female with a family whose weight has slowly crept up to 180 pounds over the years.
How she establishes her current calorie intake using a “lazy way” that allows her to be flexible with her calories.
Remember this, the magic is going to come from the adjustments you’re going to make.
After the first several weeks you will develop a solid understanding of not just the when but the how to make calorie adjustments as needed.
Another reminder… It is best to use calories for clean, healthy food choices. With that said, we are human. Don’t pressure yourself to be perfect and never eat junk food.
Life is best lived with balance. Don’t beat yourself up if you need a muffin or a small pack of Doritos. That’s why flex calories are for the human side of us.
Most eating plans and dietary structures don’t allow for the human side of life. Welcome to reality. No one is perfect. Pretending that you can maintain perfect abstinence from your favorite foods is a huge lie.
The beauty of flex calorie dieting is that it allows for reality; the human side of dieting. You will learn your tendencies, be allowed to live a little and learn to work with your (good and bad) eating habits instead of trying to pretend they aren’t there.
